The Grammys: a rundown


Last night, I alternated between the pro bowl and the Grammy's and I have to say I don't know if I was impressed with the Grammys.


Lady Gaga scares me and is that Elijah Kelley from Hairspray? Anyway, I respect that she gives everything she has to her performances but she scares little kids and me. Gotta give her points for creativity.


 

What was Sasha Fierce/Beyonce doing? The army men thing was random. They didn't really do anything. Also, why would she perform "If I was a boy" when she has all these other high energy songs. My favorite part was her shoes and the "You Oughta Know" part. Other than that, it was completely random, especially her rolling around on the stage. But Beyonce does give everything she have.


Maxwell and Roberta Flack did good. That's all I really have to say about that. I don't know if that's good or bad.

Wyclef Jean's presentation was random. I understand the creole thing, well kind of, not really. It was random and gave me a headache.

 The Michael Jackson Tribute at the Grammys, um okay, we're gonna keep this one moving because it was good but it wasn't that great. They should have danced. I feel like MTV did the best tribute. I also know that Michael is rolling in his grave because his children are in public now. Paris looks really grown up and pretty right here. Everyone knows they're looking for black blood in these kids. You won't find it.



Congrats to Taylor Swift who took home album of the year. Kanye was nowhere to be found because he was banned from the ceremony, although he won an award with Jay-Z and Rihanna. Taylor should really think Kanye because few people, outside of the country music community, knew who she was before the incident.

Solange's son, Juelz who im 100% sure does not have the last name Knowles, went one stage with Jay-Z and Rihanna. He was too cute but Solange wasn't invite?  For some reason, I think Beyonce may think Juelz is her son or may be a bit overbearing. I'm just saying where was his mother. No, Jay-Z is not his father.


Drake had the biggest come up-ever. He went from being a deal-less child actor, to one of the biggest MC's in less than a year. If you did not watch Degrassi, you didn't know who Drake was, now he's played back to back on radio. I loved his performance because I knew he was young, hungry, and grateful to be there. He's not an artist who expected it. I wish he won the Grammy though because he genuinely deserved it. Also, why does Eminem look like he's confused at to why he's on stage?

Bonus Moment:
Beyonce telling Jay-Z how much she loves him in her acceptance speech and his look of shock. I remember when they wouldn't acknowledge they were together. How sweet. I added the pic because I think its heartwarming to know these two really love each other.

That's all I really have to say. I haven't really watched the Grammy's since 2005 because I wasn't interested. But it looks like fun.
